An Old Mirror

Q. How come old photographs are always black and white?
Didn't they have color film back then?

A. Sure they did. In fact, those old photographs are in color.
It's just that the world was black and white then.

Fragility

This was taken in the back lot of an abandoned scrap dealer. The windows of the building had been shattered outward, and this small plant was growing up through the debris.

(Three weeks after this photo was taken, the building was demolished and the entire property was excavated for the basement of a new tower.)

New Year's Eve

"The suspect then fled the scene and was located a short time later in the area of Main and Danforth. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead."

- CBC News reporting on the police shooting of a 17-year-old robbery suspect, December 31, 2004.

I have broken the links to hundreds and hundreds of photos, which will take a long time to repair. The workaround is to replace "photo.matthewpiers" in the link URL with "matthewpiers.smugmug". Awkward, but only temporary.

This is happening because I have revamped matthewpiers dot com. More of what I write and photograph will be going there, so check it out as well.
